"I have supported the Center for quite awhile now — the reason is because these guys are effective — I can see my money working in lawsuits against the feds, etc. The Center considers all creatures great and small to be important — everybody cares about polar bears, but who cares about frogs? The Center cares, and wants to make sure everyone is aware of how humans are driving them to extinction. Kudos to Kierán for the quarterly briefings, and the way the staff makes donors feel cherished and special." – Joan DaVanzo, Leadership Circle member
"The Center for Biological Diversity makes a long-term impact with its incredible sucess in winning court cases. Thanks to them, our fellow creatures have a voice."
— Arlene, via GreatNonprofits.org
"They are pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the most effective conservation organization in the country"
— LA Weekly
"People should help animals because its the right thing, not because you're being rewarded."
—Kaylyn, age 10
"I think it's important to help Center for Biological Diversity because they know how to use the money wisely, they know how to save the animals with money, and they know what they are doing."
— Austin Lee, fourth grade, Los Angeles
Read more reviews of the Center.
Q. What is the Center for Biological Diversity's mission?
A. Read our mission statement.
Q. How long has the Center been around and how did the organization get started?
A. Read about the Center's history.
Q. How many supporters does the Center have now?
A. We're proud to have the support of more than 1.6 million members and online activists — and still counting. Together we have the clout to force the sea changes in policy needed to stop global warming, protect our air and water, and secure a future for plants and animals hovering on the brink of extinction.
Q. Where does my donation go?
A. We're proud of the way we manage our funds. According to the LA Weekly, we're "pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the most effective conservation organization in the country." When you donate to the Center, you may not get a backpack, a plush toy, or a windbreaker, but you'll get the satisfaction of being part of the best defense endangered species and wild places have got. In 2015, 84 percent of our funds spent went directly back to our conservation programs. You may request a copy of our latest financial information by writing to our office.
Q. Does my online activism make a difference?
A. Citizen voices are a crucial part of creating meaningful change. We find that in concert with litigation, education, science-based investigation and creative media, e-petitions and email comment campaigns can be powerful forces. Sometimes a barrage of public comments can be just the thing to nudge a politician or bureaucrat in the right direction. And the more succinct and direct, the better. We construct our petitions to save species and habitat after intensive investigation and then harness them as one of several parallel and complementary prongs of attack. They've proven to be effective, as happened when 18,000 e-comments helped compel the Obama administration to pledge a recovery plan and critical habitat for the endangered jaguar, and when a whopping 200,000-plus citizen signatures helped revoke a rule eviscerating the Endangered Species Act.
Q. I don't have money to donate. Can I volunteer my time?
A: You can still be a part of our work by volunteering your time and energy. The majority of our volunteer opportunities are in our main Tucson, Arizona, office. We do, however, have occasional opportunities to get involved or attend events in your local community. You can check out a short listing of our volunteer opportunities and join our volunteer group.

Atmospheric wall projection on the Cocoon tour
Yesterday, Tuesday 8 September, was the big preview of the new Darwin Centre to the press and media. Throughout the day journalists and film crews were shown around the whole Darwin Centre and Cocoon experience for the first time. It was a busy day and we are already getting a fabulous response in the papers, magazines and on TV. Here's some of the brilliant coverage so far, following yesterday's media event:
BBC News online Day in pictures
Among the press and media favourites were the cocoon itself – the breathtaking building really is the star of the show – and on the Cocoon tour, both the planning an expedition and the mosquito challenge interactive games attracted lots of attention.
Press visitors had the added bonus of getting a free NaturePlus card that uses barcode technology to save exhibit highlights to enjoy online and enjoyed the unique chance to come face-to-face with scientists at work preparing specimens and ask them questions. Down on the centre's ground floor, the spectacular interactive Climate Change Wall added another wow factor. The wall's images and films featured a lot in last night's ITV 10 o'clock news special on the Darwin Centre.
Take a look at the new and updated wide-look Visiting the Darwin Centre website for a sense of what the fuss is all about. It features some of the latest photos taken by our Museum photographers at our special preview events and reveals much more about the centre's main attractions for visitors. I've worked day and night recently (in fact the security staff had to throw me out over the weekend!) to get these web pages ready in time for yesterday's media launch.
There'll be more online updates to come, so keep re-visiting the Darwin Centre website. Next stop, Monday 14 September when Prince William and Sir David Attenborough arrive for the VIP launch, the day before public opening on 15 September…

Success rate of teeth whitening
A. No. Some cases in which tooth discoloration is severe, whitening may not provide the results necessary for a radiant white smile. However, other options for these cases are available such as composite bonding or dental veneers.

About Pop Physique
At the end of a fruitful career that led her from the Cincinnati Ballet to the Sacramento Ballet, Jennifer Williams funneled her dance savvy into creating the barre-inspired exercise system taught at Pop Physique, a 2013 CityVoter finalist for Best Gym. Her fleet of handpicked and personally trained instructors pairs graceful ballet moves with other low-impact exercises in order to chisel cores without injuring muscles. Deep stretches further preserve tendons and leave each student more relaxed than a tortoise moseying past a state patrolman with a radar gun. Sessions run multiple times a day, seven days a week at an expanding network of SoCal locations. The roomy studios are lined with sprung dance floors and design accents that lend each location a distinct personality and a chance to forget its past as a storage room for defective food processors.

Talk-show host and racial agitator Al Sharpton's "stupid'' involvement in efforts to put the narrowly divided state Senate back into Democratic hands makes it more likely that four independent Democrats will back the GOP, The Post has learned.
What's more, gloating by United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew that union-financed Senate Democratic victories were a setback for Gov. Cuomo's reform agenda makes it more likely Cuomo will push independent Dems to keep the GOP in power, sources said.
And there was a third and unexpected development over the weekend adding further uncertainty to the Democrats' hoped-for return to power in January.
Sources said state Sen. Malcolm Smith of Queens, who served as the Democratic Senate majority leader in 2009 until he was ousted and then replaced during a bitter "coup'' mounted by Republicans and two renegade Democrats, was "open'' to helping the GOP keep control of the Senate.
Smith, who has talked with Republican leaders about running as the GOP candidate for mayor next year, "is open and willing to listen to what the Republicans have to say,'' said a source close to the situation.
Sharpton, the controversial minister — associated with racially inflammatory and sometimes anti-Semitic rhetoric — and MSNBC personality, said late last week he was arranging a meeting in Harlem to encourage the Senate's long-divided Democrats to unite around one leader to take advantage of several victories in last Tuesday's voting that could return them to majority control.
Sharpton's efforts and the announcement of a planned Harlem meeting intensified a long-existing racial divide among Senate Democrats, a dozen of whom are African-American, sources said.
"How stupid was that? It was unbelievable,'' said a senior Democratic official close to the Senate's four-member Independent Democratic Conference led by Sen. Jeff Klein of The Bronx.
"The last time I checked, Al Sharpton was a paid member of the media, and he's trying to determine who the next Senate leader is going to be? That suggests that most of the Senate Democrats are ready to once again be beholden to outside influence peddlers like Al Sharpton,'' the official continued.
Sharpton's efforts to play power broker also increased the likelihood that Sen.-elect Simcha Felder of Brooklyn, a conservative Democrat and Orthodox Jew who has indicated he could back the Republicans, will align himself with the GOP, a second official said.
"Do you think Simcha wants to be anywhere near a group that owes its leadership to Sharpton and all he represents?'' the official continued.
Meanwhile, Mulgrew's concession that the teachers union spent some $3 million opposing Senate Republicans because of their support for education reforms and a less-generous Tier 6 pension plan for new employees was widely seen as an attack on Cuomo, who sponsored both efforts.
"Mulgrew's agenda is a direct challenge to the governor, so how can Cuomo sit by and let a UFT-controlled Senate Democratic majority take over? He can't,'' said a source close to the Cuomo administration.
The IDC, whose members also include Sens. Diane Savino of Staten Island, David Carlucci of Rockland County and David Valesky of Syracuse, was formed early last year to protest what its members said was the dysfunctional and incompetent leadership of the Senate during the previous two years of Democratic control.
IDC members have worked closely with the Senate's GOP leadership since then and have been rewarded with the chairmanships of several committees.
The exact number of Senate seats lost by the Republicans in last week's balloting remains uncertain, but at best, they'll likely have 31 members — not counting the four IDC members, Felder and possibly Smith — in the 63-member body, where 32 votes are needed for a majority.
Bitter state Republicans are blaming longtime Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long for their possible loss of Senate control and for imposing on their party hapless US Senate candidate Wendy Long, who lost to incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand by a record margin.
"It's time to face the fact of what a disaster Mike Long and the Conservative Party are to the Republicans and to New York,'' said one of the state's best-known Republicans. "And it's time to consider getting rid of cross-endorsements in this state.''
Long played a key role in defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Steven Saland of Poughkeepsie because of Saland's vote to legalize same-sex marriage, and his early endorsement of Wendy Long (no relation) helped her defeat incumbent US Rep. Bob Turner of Queens in the Republican primary.
New York is one of the few states that allow minor parties — like the Conservatives, Working Families and Independence — to give their ballot "lines'' to major-party candidates and, in the process, gain widespread influence over their policies.

A growing field at IMG Academy
by Art Levy
Posted 9/25/2013
Updated 5 yearss ago
In 1978, Nick Bollettieri opened a 40-acre tennis academy in Bradenton, where he guided the early careers of top-ranked players such as Monica Seles, Andre Agassi and Jim Courier. Bollettieri's success caught the attention of IMG, a sports and media company, which purchased the academy in 1987. Bollettieri, 82, still works there — he's on the tennis court coaching select students by 5:30 a.m. most days — but his academy has become a drastically different place.
In addition to tennis, the now 450-acre IMG Academy trains more than 12,000 athletes a year in golf, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, soccer and football. The academy has its own 800-student prep school, which will field its inaugural high school football team this fall, and training programs for college and professional athletes. The campus also has a Gatorade Sports Science Institute, where researchers study the impact of nutrition on sports performance.
There's more growth planned. Chip McCarthy, IMG's vice president of finance and operations, says the academy is in the midst of a $197-million long-range expansion that includes a recently opened $15-million residence hall and the first phase of a 5,000-seat football stadium scheduled to open this year. The stadium will feature a $1-million Jumbotron scoreboard. Other plans include a 40,000-sq.-ft. field house and numerous soccer, lacrosse and football practice fields.
IMG also plans to expand the prep school's facilities and increase enrollment to more than 1,400 students. The school is also working to boost academics. McCarthy says it will offer an International Baccalaureate program by the 2014-15 school year. "Our goal is to be one of the top 10 academic prep schools in the country," he says.

MSU Track & Field Wins 10 Medals at the Big Ten Championships
Spartans add six medals to close out the final day of competition at the conference meet.
Spartans Perform Strong on Day One at Jesse Owens and Larry Ellis Invite
10 personal records and three event wins highlight first day of weekend competition for MSU.

Spartans have successful first day of split competition around the region.
Preview: 2012 Big Ten Track & Field Outdoor Championships
The Spartans will compete in Madison Friday through Sunday.
Senior Profile: Carlie Green
Carlie Green has developed an identity as a successful athlete, student and individual at Michigan State.
Former Spartan standout Lisa Senakiewich returns to East Lansing is in her fifth year as assistant cross country and track & field coach.
During the 2010-11 school year, her first season back with MSU, the team already reaped the benefits of her experience and success as a Spartan. In the fall, the women's cross country team won the program's first conference team title since 2001. The women also won the NCAA Great Lakes Region race to earn an automatic berth into the 2010 NCAA Cross Country Championships for the 12-straight year. Senior Emily MacLeod flourished she was named both the USTFCCCA Great Lakes Athlete of the Year for the second-straight year, and the Big Ten Athlete of the Year, winning both races in convincing manner. MacLeod capped off the season with an All-America performance at the NCAA Championships.
MacLeod went on to break two school records during the track season in which Senakiewich had previously been a part of, the outdoor 5,000-meter run and the indoor distance medley relay. At the NCAA Outdoor Championships, MacLeod turned in a school-record time of 15:48.20 to place seventh overall in the 5,000-meter run, earning herself her second USTFCCCA All-America nod of the school year.
In her first year out of college, Senakiewich helped then-junior Caden Shields serve as Purdue's lone representative at the 2009 NCAA Cross Country Championships where he turned in a time of 31:13.8 for 132nd. Shields was the top male Boilermaker at all six of the competitions he ran in over the course of the fall. On the women's side, Camille Buscomb was the top individual runner at the Big Ten Championships for Purdue when she narrowly missed All-Big Ten honors, placing 17th with a time of 21:17.0, a mark which ranks sixth all time in the Purdue record books.
On the track, Senakiewich played an instrumental role in the development of Sarah Klaczynski in the 3,000m steeplechase. Klaczynski was the lone distance representative for the Boilermakers at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Klaczynski qualified for the finals in Eugene, Ore., after turning in a school-record time of 10:11.17 in her preliminary race. Klaczynski became just the second NCAA qualifier for the Boilermakers in the women's steeplechase since 2004. Klaczysnki, who entered her final campaign having never placed at a conference meet or participated in a national meet, graduated a Big Ten Championship medalist and NCAA Championship finals qualifier in the steeplechase.
Senakiewich earned a pair of All-America awards in 2008-09, earning fourth-place in the 5,000-meter run at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 16:28.88, and taking 27th place overall at the 2008 NCAA Cross Country Championships, completing the 6K course in 20:33.40. She led the Spartans to a 20th-place team showing at the outdoor track and field national championships and an 11th-place team effort at the cross country national meet. She also qualified for the 2009 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in the one-mile run with a season-best time of 4:40.91. She completed her collegiate career with Michigan State's records in the one-mile run, the 1,500-meter run and the indoor distance medley relay.
Other accomplishments from her final season included leading the Spartans to third-place team finishes at the NCAA Great Lakes Cross Country Regional Championship and the Big Ten Cross Country Championship, as well as First-Team All-Big Ten cross country honors. She also earned her third consecutive spot on the USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country Team.
Senakiewich received her bachelor's degree from MSU in English with a focus in general comparative literature, and was a member of the Spartan's Dean's List for all eight semesters of college.

Kem noted that English is just French mispronounced. No reason to let the 13th century farm folk have all the fun – let's see what we're drinking this year in the wine cave.
Thanksgiving wine list
I do like a white available for those who prefer it with fowl. So I've leaned toward flinty sauvignon blancs. The concept is clear the ballot from gravy, biscuit, butter overload.

Merlot or Cabinet Sauvignon? Am I the only one that finds Cabinet gives them headaches?

Sinfandel and Petty Sarah for me. Both are easily googled/binged and it seems that Petty Sarah even has a history:"However according to reputation, "Petty Sarah" as the old timers called it, can have a rather tempermental personality."

PS There's a lot of "fruity on the pallet" and "well-rounded on the pallet" and the like, too. Nice for the truck-drivers and the fork-lift operators.

Fruity on the pallet! For those who buy in real bulk.

If you've exhausted the wine options, have a go at mixed drinks.
The late Douglas Adams starts us off with the passage from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in which he describes the ultimate transcendental eggcorn: http://www.ginntonic.org/
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Ken contributed "tankered" for "tankard" on the older version of the Forum, but I don't think anyone ever before posted the more obvious tankard>>tanker reshaping, which turns out to be fairly common. And surprisingly, the etymological rule doesn't seem to apply. The origins of both words are murky, but "tank" may (or may not) be related to languages of the Indian subcontinent perhaps mediated by Portuguese and other languages, and tankard may be a Middle Dutch transposition of Latin cantharus. Both are pretty cool, and I had no idea that tank's origins were so mysterious.
Here's the OED etymology for "tankard":
[= MDu., Du. tanckaert = kitte, L. obba, cantharus (= sense 2 below), (Kilian); also F. tanquart, pl. tanquars (Rabelais). Ulterior history unknown: ? transposition of *kantar(d, cantharus.]
Here's the OED etymology for "tank":
[In sense 1, perh. immediately from an Indian vernacular: cf. Guz. tankh an underground reservoir for water (Shakespear), tanki a reservoir of water, a small well (Wilson); Marathi tanken, taken, a reservoir of water, a tank (Wilson); tanka a cistern of stone inside a house, etc., a reservoir for rain-water: words which some would connect with Skr. tadaga pond, lake, pool; others think that they are all derived from Pg. tanque pond = Sp. estanque, F. étang: L. stagnum pond, pool, with which at least the Indian words were identified by the Portuguese, who even in the Roteiro de Vasco da Gama and through the 16th c. applied tanque to the Indian reservoirs, called also in Fr. estang (Pyrard de Laval c 1610). The 17th c. Eng. forms tanque and tanke appear to be taken from the Pg.; tanck, tank, on the other hand, with It. tancho (Varthema 1510), may have been from Guz. tankh. As to the Eng. use in senses 1b and 2, it is not clear whether this came from Anglo-Indian usage, or was immediately related to Pg. tanque. It could scarcely arise out of earlier Eng. or Sc. stank 'pond, fish-pond, stagnant pool, ditch', since this never in sense approached that of tank.]
[I've removed code for macrons to make my life easier.]
I kinda wish David's "tanker" contribution weren't buried in this thread—it's worthy of its own spotlight.

I had some kind of magnificent entree that featured veal, crab, and asparagus that wasn't quite Veal Oscar, or maybe it was. It came in a cream and wine sauce. I accidentally ordered the wrong wine (Peanut Noir instead of Peanut Grigio with my veal and crab), so they let me drink my mistake for free. I highly recommend this place for a very fancy and romantic supper at a fraction of the lunch prices of Bordino's.
All the other ghits for Peanut Grigio are tongue-in-cheek and I suspect this may be some kind of running joke too.

* swirls glass – dips in nose * mm-hmm, I get subtle notes of charred peanut…
This one is clearly genuine. The original poster asked how to edit the title of the post, which wasn't possible – just like this site. To get to peanut, it must be a mondegreen, so someone else would have pronounced it with a hard t. Or someone has some knowledge of French, where pinot is not too far from pinotte.
I guess "pineau noir" is only just about an eggcorn. Pineau is grape juice mixed with brandy to make a Mistelle whereas Pinot is the word in front of Noir, Gris or Chardonnay, and perhaps more words. If I'm not wrong they are pronounced the same so if the etymology of both is the same then it's a close one.
Would the t be pronounced in, say "Pinot est gris ou noir"?

When officials in suburban Des Plaines read about the hazards of spreading cancer-causing coal tar on playgrounds, parking lots and driveways, they moved to join other communities across the nation that have banned pavement sealants made with the industrial byproduct.
A City Council committee ordered staff to research the issue, drafted an ordinance to outlaw the widely used products and recommended its passage. Aldermen cited federal, state and academic studies showing that coal tar sealants contain high levels of toxic chemicals, steadily wear off and crumble into dust tracked into houses and washed into waterways.

Girls star Lena Dunham has struck up a friendship with Taylor Swift over Twitter.com.
The actress/writer used the social networking site to express her love for the chart-topping singer, although she admits her followers criticized her for liking Swift's pop music.
Dunham tells V magazine, "We have D.M.'ed (direct messaged). I'm a really big fan. She started following me, and here's how you find out Taylor Swift is following you: you start hearing from all the insane Taylor Swift fans that are like, 'If Taylor Swift loves you I love you.'
"So I sent her a message. I was like, 'I just want to let you know that your albums have gotten me through a lot of very hard times.' When I tweeted that her new album was amazing, every one of my Twitter followers was like, 'I so hope that you're joking.' But I have no interest in liking anything ironically. If I wanted to be ironic, I'd grow a mustache."

Macula monsters
Aww, they are cute! Sorry you have to work. I might "work" at some of my Halloween tree ornaments (hanging eyeballs, carnivorous ornaments, a couple of Jack Skellington Santas, etc) for my Halloween tree for that un-nameable holiday right after the winter solstice. (I said the word the other day and a mutual friend gave me a hard time...)
I must thank you for being a crafty inspiration...
Ha ... decided I'd make one
Ha ... decided I'd make one of ... YOU! Now I have my very own Ghoul Friday paper "monster" ... LOL
Those are awsome, thanks!
Those are awsome, thanks! Will have to giv'em a go:) I have a few late nights at the office this week, will be a perfect passing time project. Though I should be working on my jewelry.. Ya, well. Halloween is closing in, I can feel it in my joints!!
Re: Thanks for popping by:) It did take a while before I got the writing spirit back. But I'm definitely back now! We are so happy with the new place:) More space for retro, kitsch and skulls, yay!!
Wonderful Find!
I've got a folder of papercraft projects collected far and wide (and a few hard copy cardstock projects offered up through magazines and the like tucked in my bookshelf), but these are so very well done, they have to be nabbed. And Macula has covered the classics with some terrific designs.
Ah, I need more time in my day to play with these things!

Warhammer Club
August 25 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 11:00am on Saturday, repeating indefinitely
Event Navigation
Every Saturday we run Warhammer sessions for anyone wanting to play one of Games Workshop's most popular creations.
Warhammer is a tabletop battle game which puts players in command of armies of valiant humans, noble elves, savage orcs or a variety of twisted and monstrous creatures.
Players collect forces of miniature plastic models, all with different stats and abilities, and use them to play out clashes on a tabletop battlefield. Unlike a board game, where players' moves are restricted to defined areas, Warhammer commanders freely manoeuvre their units set distances using rulers and resolve shooting and hand-to-hand combat by rolling dice
Get army advice, paint your collection, discuss tactics or battle with other players in our regular Saturday slot!
Related Events
At Atlantic Games we are passionate about face-to-face gaming as a way of socialising and having fun as an alternative to being stuck at home in front of a computer screen.
We actively encourage players at our shop to play the games on offer in store or to bring their own activities in.
However, we also run a schedule of regular events, some casual and some competitive to give you the opportunity to meet and play with other players amongst our community.
If there are any games or events you are interested in that aren't listed below please get in touch with us at the shop as we are always open to new ideas.

Planting Winter Cover Crops to Boost Soil Fertility
By the end of each growing season, your garden's been through a lot - tilling, planting, weeding, harvesting - and not to mention getting stepped and squatted on while you work outside. Luckily, winter allows your garden to rest and rejuvenate, but leaving it exposed to harsh weather conditions can leach nutrients and prohibit water retention and soil aeration. Cover crops are the perfect solution for improving soil fertility with a little TLC - even when winter gives it the cold shoulder.
Winter cover crops improve soil aeration, boost water retention, decrease water and wind erosion, subdue cold-season weeds, plus enhance soil fertility and mineral distribution.
There are two main types of winter cover crops: winter-killed cover crops and cover crops that survive the winter. Winter-killed cover crops, like oats and oilseed radish, are planted in late summer or early fall but are killed by frost soon after they mature. In the winter, they serve as ground cover that improves soil tilth and crop yield. Cover crops that survive the winter ' like winter rye, winter wheat and crimson clover ' are planted in the fall so their established root systems can store nitrogen in the winter. You can tear the crops down in the spring and till the debris back into the ground to release the nitrogen and replenish soil.
Cover Crop Growing Tips:
- Winter-killed oats are great options for home gardeners because they grow quickly and are easy to plant. You may want to avoid winter rye because it generates tough sod, and leguminous cover crops like alfalfas and clovers because they're slow-growing.
- Kill your cover crops before their top growth gets out of control. If left unattended, they could spread like weeds and take over the garden. When they begin to bloom, simply cut them down at the base of the plant.
- Incorporate the killed crops back into the soil, and wait 2-3 weeks before reseeding for the growing season. This allows the organic material to decompose and fertilize your garden.
- If you want to see how winter cover crops are affecting your soil, consider leaving a bare patch in your garden. That way you can compare the growth in each section when you plant in the spring.
Try to plant your winter cover crops at least 30 days before the first frost, so they have enough time to grow before the freezing temperatures hit. If you didn't have a chance to plant them this fall though, don't worry, you can always plant them next year.

ALBANY >> New casinos in upstate New York will face challenges in drawing customers, and the state should be cautious in making revenue projections, according to a state comptroller's report released Friday.
The gambling report comes as the state accepts applications from developers for four upstate casinos, which will be chosen this year.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has promoted the casinos as a regional economic boost and a state revenue generator. But the report said uncertainty over location and customers, as well as competition with other gambling operations in a crowded market, make it hard to quantify the new casinos' financial benefits.
"Given the experience in other states, where casino revenues have been lower than expected, the state will need to use caution in projecting new revenues and any expenditures based on such resources," according to the report.
The state has estimated that the law ushering in the casinos will bring in $238 million annually in additional state aid for education and $192 million a year more in aid to local governments. The report said that legal gambling activity in New York totals well over $36 billion annually.
Casinos are authorized for the Albany-Saratoga area, the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region and the Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley.
The comptroller's report said upstate regions may have greater difficulty attracting large numbers of customers because of their distance from population centers. Also, much of the revenue will come from in-state residents, and a large portion of the money spent on gambling simply would have been spent on other consumer purchases.
Earlier this week in the Albany-Saratoga area, officials with the Casino for East Greenbush announced a detailed estimate of the revenue streams that they expect will be generated by the casino, including more than $9.3 million in estimated annual real property tax payments, $800,000 in estimated annual sales tax generated, $5.7 million in annual host community revenues for the Town of East Greenbush and $5.7 million for Rensselaer County, in addition to an estimated $6 million in infrastructure impact fees to the Town of East Greenbush.
These real property tax payments are estimated based on an assessed value of $250 million. Sales tax revenue generation is based on historical sales data from similarly sized destination resort casinos in comparable locations.
Proposed for Thompson Hill, the Casino at East Greenbush is an approximately $300 million proposal that is expected to create approximately 1,700 construction jobs, 1,700 permanent jobs with benefits and thousands of additional jobs in the community. It will feature gaming, dining and entertainment options, including a 250-room resort style hotel, dining options, multiple entertainment venues and high-end retail.
The report from comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's office echoes industry analysts, who see challenges in opening casinos in the already competitive Northeast market.
New York already has five Indian casinos and nine racinos with slot-like video lottery terminals.

While most species of Earth use the sexual act for procreation, humankind may be the only one for which sex is a pleasure, sport, and obsession. Along with money, hunger, and desire for power, sex is a primary motivating force. It is a basic instinctual urge that all humans experience at some time, and the sexual/sensual component of a relationship is often necessary to keep it strong and healthy.
Many changes have occurred in our sexual focus in the last quarter century. It is no longer oriented just to erections, marathon sex, and multiple partners, though that might be the interest for some. We now have more responsibilities for our own and each other?s health. Safe sex?not transmitting diseases or creating unprepared-for pregnancies?is definitely both sensible and in vogue. Condoms are back, birth control is important, and knowing your partner is crucial to health. There have always been some built-in dangers with sexual activity, from syphilis to gonorrhea to herpes and now AIDS. As the dangers grow, often so do the mystique and adventure of sexuality.
Nowadays, people are more monogamous, attempting to focus on loving and supporting one another, looking more for growth and learning and less for control and dependency. Relationship vitality is important and often secondary to sexual vitality; love that binds us must reach many levels, emotional and spiritual as well as physical. Few relationships last over the long term that are based on good sex alone, just as few endure without a decent sexual relationship. Ultimately, love is the overriding principle, and with love, physical sharing and enjoyment are manifest.
Stress and nutrition are important factors in sexual vitality. Stress, particularly mental stress in the form of worry, overwork, and financial concerns, can interfere with sexual energy and expression. On the other hand, sexual problems themselves can be a source of anxiety and unhappiness. Resolving relationship problems often requires some psychological assistance. Guilt can be a big psychological block to adequate sexual energy. In many situations, there has not been a clear emotional separation from a parent or a previous loved one, and subconscious feelings of incest or adultery may be undermining the experience. Fears of certain fantasies becoming reality may also create anxiety interference. There are all kinds of potential sexual problems. In this section, however, we concentrate more on supporting a healthy sexual function rather than the wide range of sexual dysfunctions and infertility.
For normal function, we need both healthy organs and a balanced, working endocrine system, producing the necessary hormones. Low pituitary function may lead to decreased development of the sexual organs, early menopause in women, and impotence in men. Weak adrenals may reduce the desire and strength for sex and increase sensitivity to stress. Low thyroid may cause a lack of desire or capacity for sex. In men, low testicular function decreases sex drive and sperm production. In women, low estrogen slows sexual maturity, decreases breast size, and retards egg maturation. Estrogen-progesterone imbalance can create many menstrual cycle variations and symptoms.

As the Ravens prepare for the NFL season-opener Thursday night against the Broncos, Jones' play still resonates loudly heading into the rematch.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Extra police were patrolling some Missouri schools Monday, an added precaution in the wake of the shooting at Newtown, Conn.
Police in both St. Louis city and county were being extra vigilant around schools. St. Louis County Police spokesman Randy Vaughn said police captains and other supervisors were joining patrol officers in targeting areas around schools. Resource officers who normally focus on high schools were working to ensure safety at elementary schools. Some schools had officers inside at the request of administrators.
"Beat patrol officers are making first priority the elementary schools, not only to ward off any problems, but to ease the minds of parents and school personnel that might still be feeling uncomfortable," Vaughn said.
That unease is understandable after Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six adults were killed.
St. Louis Police spokesman David Marzullo said city police already keep a close eye on schools.
"We did ask the patrol officers for even closer patrol," he said.
Smaller communities were taking precautions, too. In Sedalia, patrols are being beefed up at least through the week, police commander Matt Wirt told the Sedalia Democrat.
"This isn't just a knee-jerk reaction to Friday's shooting in Connecticut," Wirt said. "We know people feel uncomfortable right now and we want them to know we're here."
Kansas City school district spokesman Andre Riley said frequent patrols, in-building security and school resource officers were already in place.
"A lot of these things we already have due to the challenges of being a school district in an urban area," Riley said. "We always take security very seriously. We're being even more watchful, more vigilant. We're just keeping our eyes open and encouraging our community to do the same."
Vaughn said St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch is trying to organize a meeting with school leaders later this week to discuss the future of school safety.
One idea Fitch is floating: Arming civilian school workers.
"Pilots have been armed now for many, many years," Fitch told KMOX Radio. "We've not had another hijacking and the issue is, for the bad guy, he doesn't know which airplane he's getting on, if the pilot is armed or not."
St. Louis County police had a brief scare Monday morning when a trespasser was reported on the roof of Bayless High School. Vaughn said it was an unarmed woman who was threatening suicide. Her name and age were not released. Vaughn said the woman never threatened to hurt anyone other than herself.

Gov. Heineman visits Gothenburg.
Working together to market and grow the state is what Gov. Dave Heineman touted during a Monday visit to Gothenburg.
"Something special about Nebraska is our people," Heineman said.
Referring to the national Special Olympics in Lincoln recently, he said he was amazed by stories of friendliness and honesty extended to visitors."People even offered rides which you'd never do in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago and we do those things everyday."
Heineman talked to local Rotarians at noon before traveling to the public library to visit with Chamber of Commerce and Gothenburg Improvement Company members.
The governor also shared a story about a minister from Beaver City who attended a convention in North Carolina where he met a representative of Kaufman Trailers, Inc.
By successfully marketing his town and Nebraska, Heineman said the man helped bring a division of the company to Beaver City, population 610.
Although the state has assets such as low energy rates and a strong education system, Heineman said it's still about relationships and trust.
Recruiting the Internet search engine company Yahoo to the Omaha area involved asking what the company wanted and delivering those things, he said.
"We also put up a website with everything someone might want to know about Nebraska," Heineman said.
Touching upon the importance of technology in a global economy, he said Nebraska students need more than a high school education—two years of postsecondary studies and preferably four.
Young people are also more likely to transact business on cell phones, Heineman said, noting that 80% of Nebraskans filed taxes last year electronically which saved the state money. He noted that electronic renewal of driver's licenses is also available.
However he said more online opportunities through the Nebraska Health and Human Services Department and accessing individual medical records are needed.
Noting that Nebraska experienced a net migration into the state in 2009, Heineman said

Housing cooperatives are a legal hybrid between an apartment and a condo. Typically, cooperative housing units are part of a multi-unit building, but rather than paying a mortgage, you are a shareholder in the building, entitling you to an apartment with legal documentation similar to a lease agreement. Like condos, the rules of the co-op are regulated by a governing association with appointed board members.
Elements of design:
- A cooperative housing agreement is essentially a lease, a purchase of a share of a corporation
- Cooperatives are largely managed by the tenants of the building with monthly shareholder meetings to determine and uphold the rules of the building
- Unlike renting, there are tax benefits to 'owning' a share in a cooperative residential building

First-year student Asha Pandya came to Silicon Valley in the early 1980s after finishing her master's in aerospace engineering at the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology and a second master's at Penn State in computational fluid dynamics.
After working for a computer hardware company, Pandya embarked on a second career teaching AP high school calculus and physics. At the age of 60, Pandya decided her true calling was motivating more girls and minority students to get involved in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and to help restore the United States' international standing in K-12 math and science education—and she decided she needed a law degree to do it.
"I thought if I got a law degree, I'd be able to make a difference at the policy level," she says. UC Hastings' location and reputation made it an easy choice, she adds.
Whether it's the school's proximity to the city's startup world, or its specialized offerings in health care and patent law and its affiliation with UCSF, UC Hastings is becoming a magnet for law students who have backgrounds in science and engineering.
In fact, just under 10 percent of incoming students over the past three years hold some kind of science degree, according to Greg Canada, UC Hastings' assistant dean of admissions. "We've definitely seen a bump," he says. "A number of things contribute to that: One is our intellectual property and health law programs, certainly, in addition to all the tech firms in this area with a growing interest in biotech."
Zachary Flood, another first-year student, points to the school's location as one of the biggest reasons he applied here. He was also attracted to its strong patent law program and the UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science, and Health Policy, which pairs law and medical students in joint research, training, and service programs at the two campuses.
Flood graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in biopsychology. As an undergraduate, he led a study on brain growth dynamics that was published in the journal Neuroscience. Flood then worked for three years in a lab at MIT, investigating genetic risk factors for psychiatric disorders. As a JD candidate, Flood is interested in the intersection of criminal law and behavioral psychology. "I always knew UC Hastings was a good school," Flood says, "and the Consortium is really interesting."
For 2L Foram Dave, who has also been published in a medical journal, UC Hastings' patent law program was the primary draw. After working for a medical device company after college, she decided to pursue a JD, having already seen just how complicated—and crucial—patent law is to the science world.
In addition to patent law, UC Hastings also offers a health law concentration that includes courses in disability and elder law, food and drug law, plus bioethics and public health law. The school's science-to-law writing program offers help in the area where science students often need it the most: learning to write for a legal audience.
Professor David Faigman, who co-directs the Consortium, observes that UC Hastings has "become a leader where law and science meet." He says, "Whether students are interested in intellectual property, neuroscience, forensic psychiatry, or any other specialty area, they have the opportunity to work with premier researchers blazing new paths in interdisciplinary understanding." It is, he says, "a very dynamic time to be working in law and science, and, in particular, it is very exciting to be doing this work at UC Hastings."

College of Arts & Humanities
The Lander University Department of Music was honored at the 2011 South Carolina Education and Business Summit, held recently in Greenville, for providing McCormick Middle School student Taylor Buckner with "an outstanding job- shadowing experience."
Buckner was supposed to shadow associate professor of music Dr. Robert Gardiner, but a traffic accident kept Gardiner from reporting to work that day. Instead, she sat in on a piano lab, taught by assistant professor of music Dr. Robert Kelley; a music theory class, taught by music department chair Dr. Lila Noonkester; and a music history class, taught by professor emeritus of music Dr. Anthony Lenti.
She came away impressed. "I met some really exceptional people that day," she said. "They all had a passion for what they did. They change the lives of students every day. I learned a lot — not just about music, but about life, about me."
Noonkester said, "Lander's Department of Music is honored to have been nominated for this award. I am proud to say that my colleagues are highly credentialed, performing musicians and scholars whose passion for teaching and learning is contagious."

Last week's International Food Machinery and Technology Expo in Tokyo may not seem the most likely place to find lots of robots - especially not humanoids.
But Japanese engineers have high hopes for a new brand of 'hospitality' robot. This is why prototype robots were seen in the expo flipping pan cakes, cutting vegetables, serving drinks, feeding people and moving sushi between plates. As one robot spokesman put it, using an android to cook isn't very practical, but it shows what robots can do with the right programming ... the demonstration can prove very straightforwardly that a robot can do things, and this may lead people to realize robots have a wide variety of uses.

MJIL Symposium: A Response to Mary Crock and Susan Kneebone by Michelle Foster
[Dr Michelle Foster is an Associate Professor and Director of the International Refugee Law Research Programme in the Institute for International Law and the Humanities at the Melbourne Law School.]
This post is part of the MJIL 13(1) Symposium. Other posts in this series can be found in the related posts below.
Both Professor Crock and Professor Kneebone, in their respective contributions, raise interesting and important questions about state responsibility in the context of burden sharing/shifting schemes. Questions surrounding responsibility are vividly raised in the current scheme of transfer of asylum seekers from Australia to Nauru given that the Australian government is determined to maintain the position that once transferred, asylum seekers will be the responsibility of Nauru alone. This position has been said by both the Australian and Nauruan governments to be supported by the recent passage of the Refugees Convention Act 2012 (Nauru)- an Act that for the first time in Nauruan law establishes a system of refugee status determination, including merits and judicial review. Notwithstanding this, there is reason to believe, as does Crock, that 'the entire scheme is a paper façade for a system that will be run by Australians and for Australia'. The very fact that the Nauruan Immigration Regulations 2000 now recognize a special visa category entitled the 'Australian Regional Processing' visa supports the notion that at the very least the Nauruan government understands that it is dealing with an Australian problem. Further, while the Refugees Convention Act 2012 is an important step in establishing a domestic system of RSD in Nauru, as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio, Guterres, has noted recently, there is no 'experience or expertise to undertake the tasks of processing and protecting refugees' in Nauru. Given the complexity of modern refugee status determination, including the hundreds of high level appellate decisions in Australia alone elucidating the key elements of the refugee definition, it is implausible to believe that Nauru- a country with a population of 9,300 people – would have the resources to make first level determinations of refugee status or to populate the new refugee status review tribunal without considerable assistance from Australia.
As Professor Kneebone rightly observes, under the principles of state responsibility, states can be jointly and severally responsible for harm. In the present context this harm may take the form of refoulement if refugees are returned to a risk of persecution due to an inadequate status determination procedure including lack of legal representation, as well as the harm suffered by asylum seekers awaiting status determination and, subsequent to recognition as refugees, resettlement in Australia or elsewhere.
Further, Professor Kneebone notes that responsibility could also be considered at the national level, discussing specifically the duty of care owed by detaining authorities. In this regard it is also worth noting that while the Australian government has attempted to shield the transfer to and treatment of asylum seekers in Nauru from judicial scrutiny by Australian courts by amending s 198A of the Migration Act, the High Court of Australia has displayed its willingness to scrutinize the substance- not merely form- of executive action. In M61, the High Court rejected the Minister's characterization of the refugee status determination system established in Christmas Island as 'non-statutory' and outside the operation of Australian domestic law, finding instead that the system was subject to judicial review by Australian federal courts and was required to be operated according to the rules of procedural fairness and in compliance with Australian law. While asylum seekers have now been removed to a foreign territory- as opposed merely to an 'excised' territory- there may nonetheless be interesting questions around the scope of the High Court to review Australia's actions on Nauru.
In short, Professor Crock and Professor Kneebone have raised some important questions about Australia's responsibility- both under international and domestic law- that will continue to be debated as Australia's policies of burden shifting continue to evolve.

Transatlantic Symposium
First Transatlantic Symposium on Strategies to Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening and Save More Lives
The first Transatlantic Symposium on Colorectal Cancer Prevention is an idea which originated from the fact that there are proven and effective methods for the early detection and prevention of this form of cancer. However, both in US and in Europe, where incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer are high, these methods are not optimally utilized. It is a well-known phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic that the screening participation rates are too low. There are different barriers which keep people from participating in colorectal cancer screening - psychological reasons and subconscious fears are the predominant factors preventing people from undergoing the examination or using the test.
Surveys in various western countries have all shown similar results as to why people generally tend to neglect colorectal cancer prevention and early detection - causing us to look at the various approaches of how people from different countries try to tackle & solve this problem.
The Transatlantic Symposium will present a multitude of different practical concepts and projects, which have proven or are about to prove that it is possible to raise the CRC screening participation rate. For the first time ever in a conference on a medical topic it is all about "Putting Knowledge into Practice".
The Steering Committee
This exceptional symposium has been put together with the support of an outstanding Steering Committee consisting of experts and organizations highly regarded for their leadership and expertise in colorectal cancer prevention and early detection.
Some of the members of the Steering Committee have established the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of CRC screening programs. Others have worked on the implementation and on the practical strategies to overcome the barriers to screening in the heads of people. Combining the scientific aspects with the practical efforts in this area is a powerful approach, allowing for the development of a new transatlantic dialogue and significant progress in our collaborative effort to increase screening and save lives.

A growing body of evidence now indicates that by preparing yourself
psychologically for surgery, you can enhance your chances of success,
minimize trauma and discomfort, and recover faster. As with a sporting
event, the better prepared you are mentally, the better your body
responds. Here is a look at some of the research along with practical
tips for making it work for you.
Getting ready for surgery is a lot like getting ready for a big
athletic event. You've got to understand the rules of the game, devise
a good game plan, and make sure you're prepared - physically and
mentally. As patients, we tend to feel that our fate is entirely in
the hands of the surgeon and the medical staff. Evidence now
indicates, however, that there's a lot we can do before surgery to
help the process, minimize trauma and discomfort, and recover faster.
As with a sporting event, the better prepared you are mentally, the
better your body responds.
Researchers analyzed the results of over 190 studies of mental
preparation for surgery and found that 80% of the patients showed
significant benefits: quicker recovery, fewer complications, less post
surgical pain, less need for pain medication, less anxiety and
depression, and an average of 1.5 fewer days in the hospital.
You can take advantage of these findings by making and following your own plan for psychological preparation. Doctors are fond of saying "the way a patient goes into anesthesia is the way a patient will come out." It certainly seems true that those who feel relaxed, optimistic, and in control are likely to feel better and recover faster than those who feel highly anxious and vulnerable.
The best way for you to reduce the stress of surgery depends somewhat on your own coping style and on how much information and involvement you prefer. In this article you'll find a wide range of suggestions on how to prepare for surgery. Pick and choose the ones that feel right to you.
Believe You Need It
Americans are the most operated-on people in the world. More than 50 million surgeries are performed in this country each year and not all of these operations are really necessary. Only about 20% are in response to an emergency such as a severe injury; 80% are "elective," meaning that the patient can choose when and where to have the operation, if at all. The numbers of operations performed varies widely from country to country, state to state, city to city, and even from surgeon to surgeon. In fact, the best indicator of the amount of surgery in a given community is the number of surgeons in the community, not the prevalence of disease! The more surgeons, the more surgery.
Even the rates of surgery for a given condition can vary widely within a community. One study showed that the rates of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) were four times higher in one town than the one next to it.
Given all this, the very first step in getting yourself psychologically ready for surgery may to be more confident that it's the right course for you. When surgery is recommended for you or a family member, ask questions. If you have doubts, get a second opinion. See the suggestions in the box on page 3.
Make the Operation
"Your Own."
This is your operation. Make sure that you receive the support you need. A hospital can be a confusing and insensitive environment. It's appropriate to ask directly and repeatedly for what you need, whether it is a blanket, a pain medication, information, or someone to hold your hand.

THE BULLETIN of the Rubber Growers Association (Incorporated)
Vol. 20. SEPTEMBER, 1938. No. 9.
Report on the working of Rubber Regulation in Malaya
during 1937.
1. Each territory or group of territories from which the export of
rubber is regulated receives a " basic quota " for each of the control
years and the International Rubber Regulation Committee fixes
from time to time the percentage of the basic quota which may be
exported in any particular quarter of the year. The Straits Settle-ments,
the Federated Malay States and Unfederated Malay States,
Labnan and Brunei constitute a single group of territories under the
International Rubber Regulation Agreement, which will be referred to
as " Malaya " in this report.
2. In Malaya the obligations imposed by the International
Agreement are carried out by controlling the amount of rubber pro-
